That doesn't look right but I couldn't really tell you what it is... I'm on my phone. Sorry. A vet visit never hurts.

For I am also on my phone....but its a driod so images are crystal clear.....that doesent look like a regular nostril imo. I would advise a vet visit.

to me his nostrils look like he 1....has a upper respiratory infection ....or two hes been fed to much calcium or other supplements .... it may be expensive i paid 85$ but if you dont take him in he can die from a upper respiratory infection and its inhumane and cruel to not get him takin care of properly

Is it crusty? Could be over supplementing.

Do you hear any popping or wheezing? If not.. probably the above mentioned.

Mine had this as babies.. I would say it's over supplementation.

Did he shed recently?

I thought it was some about their body not disolving the salt in them

Sometimes chams produce a white chalky crust around their nostrils. This is a sign of slight dehydration or possibly mineral salts from hard water. It can be reduced by increasing misting and drinking. The nostril can sometimes be blocked by it until it gets rinsed away. I don't see any white in the photo and the nostril looks a bit swollen. Any other symptoms such as sticky mucous in the mouth? Hard breathing and gaping?

Have you tried to gently remove it? It could be a piece of shed.
